Some Thoughts on Zegama
Zegama-Aizkorri in the rain is supposed to slow people down. Instead, it gave us one of the loudest statements of the year, and I needed a solo mic to process it. The course was wet, muddy, and technical enough to punish every mistake, yet the ...
#179 - Kristina Randrup
A pro trail runner who spends her days modeling blue whale populations sounds like a made-up character, but Kristina Randrup is very real and very deep in both worlds. We talk about what it’s actually like to pursue a PhD at the University of W...
Zegama-Aizkorri Race Companion
Zegama-Aizkorri is the race that turns a mountain into a stadium. One steep Basque climb packed with cowbells, one technical day where mud can rewrite the script, and a start list so deep that a “safe” prediction still feels risky. I sit down i...

Fan Mail
Hey James my name is Rob Jensen and I just wanted to say that I love your podcast! I heard about you through the pikes peak ascent and marathon. I signed up this year and this is the first ever extreme race for me. I have always been into the outdoors and exercise. I am a pediatric and psychiatric nurse practitioner and tell my patients all the time how important it is to get outside and to move our bodies. There are so many physical and mental benefits of exercise. I hope I can use this experience to be a good example to my patients and my family about the importance of taking care of our brains and bodies. Keep up the good work brother! I will be picking up my bib tomorrow (Friday) between 4-5 and if I see you there I’ll try and say hi 👍
